 Additionally, the second and third arenas of "Twisted Metal" were also originally one large stage; the designers found the stage too large for the limited number of enemies, which, along with several technical issues, prompted them to split it into two levels and shrink them down.The first arena was designed to be small so that the players would get used to the controls.Before finalizing the game's title, the developer considered various monikers including "Urban Assault", "Cars and Rockets", and "High Octane".
